Wheaton, IL Chiropractor, Dr. Joshua and Dr. Ashley Lederman Provide Electrical Stimulation & Ultrasound in Wheaton, IL as Therapy for Pain Relief and Enhanced Healing
Electrical Stimulation & Ultrasound in Wheaton, IL: At Lederman Chiropractic & Sports Medicine, Dr. Joshua and Dr. Ashley Lederman work with patients who experience a wide variety of pain and injury. Electrical stimulation and ultrasound therapy are two services that our Wheaton chiropractor provides in order to relieve pain and heal injuries.
Electrical Stimulation in Wheaton, IL at Lederman Chiropractic & Sports Medicine
Electric muscle stimulation is a physical therapy modality that is used to stimulate muscle contractions using electrodes hooked up to an electric stimulation machine. These contractions help to manage inflammation, strengthen the muscle and control pain. When providing electric muscle stim to a patient, Dr. Joshua and Dr. Ashley Lederman place electrodes on the affected areas of the body—around the back, neck, shoulder, wrist, knee or ankle. Each chiropractor will adjust the machine controls until the patient feels a prickly sensation and is able to comfortably target the level of stim without any stinging, burning or feeling a stabbing sensation. The stimulation will increase circulation and reduce swelling thereby reducing pain sensations.
Ultrasound Therapy at Our Wheaton Chiropractic Center
Similar to electric muscle stim, ultrasound therapy is another physical therapy modality used by Dr. Joshua and Dr. Ashley Lederman at Lederman Chiropractic & Sports Medicine. Ultrasound helps reduce muscle pain and movement dysfunction. How ultrasound therapy works is sound waves deliver deep heat to the areas of the body that need treatment. As a result of the sound waves penetrating the affected areas, patients often experience a reduction of pain, swelling or stiffness. Additional benefits to ultrasound therapy include pain-free movement and increased circulation. After Dr. Joshua and Dr. Ashley Lederman provide a patient with ultrasound therapy, each chiropractor may provide gentle chiropractic adjustments, mckenzie method, rehabilitation plans, and massage therapy.
